If you want to make a brief trip through the Rockies, Fast Forward Automotive in Quesnel, BC sells the Iltis in North America.
"Pricing for a good Iltis, complete with a good top, doors and sound body and mechanical is around $12,500 Canadian Dollars plus 7% GST (7.5% PST if you live in BC). Delivery to any major center in Canada can be arranged."
Although the company sells both Cdn Bombardier and German VW Iltis, the company states:
"Typically we find that the German Iltis are in better condition than the Canadian Iltis. Most German Iltis come with accessories like tire chains, door bags, jack, tools, camouflage covers etc. Most Canadian models were made available to the public because the Canadian army has "written them off" and they were scavenged for parts - hence no neat accessories like the German models. Most German models are available due to the fact they have been phased out by the Mercedes Benz Geländewagen or Wolf as it is more commonly called in the Bundeswehr."
Furthermore, "The Volkswagen Iltis that we are importing from Germany are 100% street legal in all of Canada, including Ontario where the Bombardier Iltis can not be registered."
"These rust free, four wheel drive, Bundeswehr (German Army) Iltis average 40,000km and have never really seen any harsh use or abuse as they have been stored for most of their life in an underground bunker waiting for the invasion that never happened. "
